Inverting subs


Recommended Posts

my current box is way to small, therefore I just run my subs inverted to keep them happy lol =P not to mention it keeps the coils nice and cool.

Haha nice, I had to work on my back window the other day to try to seal it up because it was leaking a little bit when it rained, and the person I paid $65 to did a horrible job, so to get to the window and rip the panels off I had to take the box out, and unhook the sub, and while it was all out and everything, I decided to invert the sub to see how it sounded, and it got very audible louder, I was amazed it changed the sound that much

my box was to small also so i inverted and got .2db louder and with worse electrical so im sure once i get my alt it'll be an increase of about .4-.6db

Yeah, when I get my license back ima go down to this place kind of near to my house and get metered, ima try the sub inverted and not inverted, and see which puts up higher #'s

depends on how big your box is.. plus it'll change your tunning when you invert them and by the way great sub choice... i love my Q

My box is roughly 8.86cuft IIRC, and yeah I was hoping it would tune it a little lower when I inverted it, but it did not change the tuning much to my ear, but it did infact make it louder

Sounds like an inverted sub topic comes up every week or so on here.

I got a better aesthetic result.
